Savoy Cabbage

Ingredients for 4

As this web site can calculate ingredient amounts for both Metric and US visitors and for any amount of persons, some measures may appear a bit odd at times. We do round and try to be as clever as we can with the calculations... If you have any ideas on improving this system, we would like your comments on our contact page.

Method

Take off the outer layer of leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage in half. Now put the half on a chopping board and cut off 3 mm thin slices. Wash in cold water and dry in a colander. Chop the onion.

Put the goose fat in a large saucepan (all the cabbage has to fit in!), add the chopped onion and fry until the onion starts changing colour. Now add the cabbage. Add salt, pepper and a bit of nutmeg (grate from whole nutmeg). Stir and close the lid, turn the heat down to low.

Leave for 15 minutes, then take off the lid. Careful with the heat - if you use too much, you will burn the cabbage - the idea here is to cook the cabbage without adding water. Add a bit of white wine and continue cooking for 4 minutes with the lid open - we want the residual moisture to evaporate.

Delicious. I've always done this with caraway seed before but good to find that nutmeg is good too

Thank you, Brie! Cabbage is great, isn't it? But then again, there are very few vegetables that I won't eat. And most of the time, it's bucease of how the vegetables are prepared and not the vegetables themselves. Hannah's blog is great, isn't it? It never fails to make me smile!I hope that you had a good day too! It's freezing out there!

This works just as well with a Sweetheart or a January cabbage. Like one of the people below I add just one slice of cut-up bacon to the onions when I'm cooking them just to jazz things up a bit. The dish goes beautifully with mashed potato or on it's own. The cabbage weight issue isn't quite clear, I just use over half a cabbage coz that's what'll fit in the saucepan.

I made it twice now, we absolutely love it. Someone below says it was boring - I wonder if it's because of lack of salt. Once we warmed the leftovers in the morning on gentle heat with raw egg - that made delicious breakfast.

Brilliant ! I just did this recipe - but had no white wine but a couple of spoonfuls of pale cream sherry did the trick - Really yummy - the nutmeg is a real good tip

Goose fat is the maker of this dish. Nice to see someone recommending it. A little bit on your grill or pan makes for the perfect steak.

Very nice - went lovely with sweet potatoes and nut roast with white stilton sauce!

I substituted water for the wine as my lot don't like wine in cooking (can't think why but when you're catering for the family you have to please everyone!. I also added some chopped streaky bacon when frying the onion - delicious!!

Did you know that using goose fat is not considered naughty? Along with Olive oil it's rated as a 'good' fat.
